    U.S. should pay for carbon content of imported goods

    To address the serious threat of global warming, Americans should be required to "pay" for the carbon content of goods they consume from countries around the world, a top U.S. official said on Friday.

    Can't wait for the new agency that determines how much carbon is in each pair of Old Navy socks, etc.

    The Climate is never going to stop "changing" - one way or the other - no matter what people do on earth.

    What a waste this all is.

    Give this "movement" enough time, and we'll be a (legitimate) cause of some ecological disaster in the attempt to fight "climate change".
